Thanks for the responses. This is my first boat and outboard experience.
I would love a jet engine but the most I can probably put on the transom is a 9hp and they don't make jets that small.
Seems the only thing to do is try to put more weight up front which would be tough to do if I'm by...
I have a 16 x 3 foot wooden flat bottom jon boat weighing about 250 lbs.
I have a 6hp 4 stroke outboard that I use to motor up river so that I can float back down.
When I'm able to open the throttle a bit, the front end raises so I'm not getting on plane. Some people that have notice me...
